BTW - just for your information - the line is not set to indicate how many points the house thinks a team will win (or lose) by. It's set to get an equal amount of money bet on both teams. That's when the house makes the most profit regardless of who wins. When a lot is being bet on one team, they move the line to encourage more money to be bet on the other team.
The house actually makes its money on the "service charge".
